We will present an overview of the ongoing development of the PEACE Pathway, including key outcomes, implementation learning, and the continued evolution of our clinical model in response to emerging research and lived experience.

The PEACE Pathway was originally developed from clinical need, recognising the high co-occurrence of autism in people with eating disorders and the lack of systematic guidance for clinicians working with this population. Over the past years, our work has expanded to reflect the broader landscape of neurodiversity within eating disorder services, including ADHD.

PEACE is now evolving beyond an autism-focused adaptation pathway toward a neurodivergent-informed service framework. This shift reflects growing evidence that personalised and flexible approaches are essential to improving patient experience and treatment outcomes.

Within our national eating disorder service at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, this has involved embedding neurodivergent-informed thinking across clinical practice, team culture, service design, and resource development. Our approach integrates clinical expertise, research evidence, and co-production with patients and families.

This conference will provide an overview of this progression, from early clinical adaptations to a more integrated, service-wide model, and share reflections on impact, challenges, and future directions.

We hope attendees will gain ideas and inspiration for developing neurodivergent-friendly practices within their own services, and we welcome opportunities for collaboration as this work continues to grow.
